Brandon Jordan: Finding Sobriety and Healing Through Music
The power of music is transformative. It can help people find hope, healing, and recovery from addiction.
Imagine being on tour with bands like Green Day and My Chemical Romance, only to have it all come crashing down because of addiction. That's Brandon Jordan's story. As the founder of the punk band KillRadio, Brandon lived the rockstar life until drugs took over. But this episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return' isn't just about his fall; it's about his rise and how he's using music to help others do the same.
After hitting rock bottom, Brandon found support through MusicCares in 2007 and has been sober for over a decade. Now, he's channeling his passion for music into Rock to Recovery, a program that brings the healing power of music to veterans, at-risk teens, and those battling addiction or mental illness. With over 3,500 songs written through the program, Brandon's impact is profound. He conducts 22 sessions a week, reaching about 250 people.
His story is one of resilience, creativity, and the transformative power of asking for help. Whether you're struggling with addiction or know someone who is, Brandon's journey offers hope and a reminder that recovery is possible.
